2．It's an agreement between towns or cities of similar size and age，and which have similar features such as tourism，industry，culture and entertainment.(教材P19)它是那些规模和年代相似的城镇或城市之间的一种协议，这些城镇或城市间有相似的特征，譬如，旅游业、工业、文化和娱乐。

本句为长难句。

主句是it's an agreement，agreement后面的介词短语between towns or cities...作定语；of similar size and age和which have similar features是由and连接的两个定语，修饰towns or cites。

其中of similar size and age是“of a/an/the same/adj.等＋n.”结构，该结构常在句中作表语或定语。

They are of great help/very helpful to learners of English.他们对英语学习者来说是很有帮助的。

be＋of＋抽象名词
①“of＋抽象名词”可转化为相应的形容词。

常见名词：value(价值)，use(用)，importance(重要性)，help，interest等。

它们可用no，some，any，little，much，great等词修饰。

②“of＋抽象名词”没有相应的形容词形式，用来表明主语的特征。

常见名词：size，weight，height，length，width，age，opinion，colour，price，kind，type，shape，quality等。

这类名词根据具体的情景而变复数形式，也可在其前加冠词。

The book is of no use/useless to us.这书对我们无用。

The products are of first-rate quality.
这些产品的质量是一流的。

①这本词典对英语初学者没有用途。

A．in preference to B．in place of

【解析】句意：对于一个公务员来说，为人们做点好事就向人们要物要钱是不合法的。

第二个空填that，that在此引导表语从句，用来说明原因的内容，故用that来引导。

【答案】 D。
